Arizona Youth Partnership (AZYP) has received the federal grant award to fund the project titled LAHMB: Linking Actions for Healthy Mothers and Babies. This project is funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). In Gila County, rates of babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (or neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome) are significant. LAHMB will serve rural communities within Gila County with a focus on the prevalence of opioid and other substance addiction and its consequences on children and families. Through the LAHMB Consortium, members plan to substantially reduce the incidence and impact of neonatal abstinence syndrome with a multi-dimensional approach across the preconception, prenatal, and post-partum stages for women and birthing people who are of childbearing age, pregnant and/or pregnant with substance use disorder.
